Fiber Concepts International

 

In our Tip of the Month  we want to focus on "cost of ownership".  This is a buzzword(s) that relates to total cost of owning a piece of equipment or an accessory, etc.  Many of our customers are overseas and the cost to sent a spare part can be very costly. 

                               

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few suggestions for you:

Plan, plan, plan.  When ordering a machine or blower, consider any extra parts you may wish to order at that time.  The spare parts ride nearly free when placed with another order, however can be multiple times the cost of the spare part if ordered separately.  Consider spare brushes for a 309 blower, replacement seals for an airlock style machine.

Fiber Concepts will do everything possible in considering cost effective ways of shipping your order.  It is helpful when parts are needed, is to let us know if these parts are urgent, or if a slower, alternate method is okay.  Sometimes good ole' US Airmail is the cheapest way.  It may take a few days more, but at great savings. Very recently we were able to save one of our customers over $700. by using Concordia Air instead of UPS or Fedex.  Arrival time is comparable, but freight travels out of Dayton, Ohio, with a local pickup arranged through Concordia.  Best of all we have real people when we call Concordia.  Fred and Al handle your freight for us with great professionalism, accuracy, and effeciency.

Cost of ownership also refers to total cost of investment vs. years of dependable use.  With Krendl equipment and proper maintenance,  the equipment we offer is a good deal. We value you as our customer and want to continue to offer you quality Krendl equipment at an affordable price for the very best "cost of ownership".
